Merry Day After Boxing Day!

Hey everyone! 

I guess everyone was feeling nice during Christmas, because I had about twice as many emails as usual, and I used most of my time reading them, so this email will be a little smaller this week. You know, probably. I never really know how long it'll be, haha. And I'm emailing today because the email shop was closed yesterday because it was boxing day! Boxing day is a huge thing here, and so everyone was home and didn't really want to have us interrupt their time to relax and do nothing, haha. 

I guess I'll say what Christmas was like. I convinced most the other Elders in my zone to go running with me Christmas morning, and we all went on a super hard long run with tons of hills, so it was basically the best ever. I was dying. I was so happy, haha. And then we just chilled for a little bit and then got to see our families! That was so fun! I saw Braden too, which was sweet. I noticed he bashed my French skills a little bit in his email. Hmm. At least I haven't put on any weight. Then that night we are allowed to watch a movie so we watched Cars 3. It was so good! We were all screaming our heads off at the last race, it was so intense, haha. But anyway, it was a great day, and it reminded me of why I'm out here. Because of Jesus Christ I know of the restored gospel and have the ability to repent and live with my family forever. Two years away isn't much of a sacrifice when you have forever to look forward to, and I'm glad I have the opportunity to give that same joy to others while I'm out here.

Well, that's about all I have to say, but I'll send a few pictures to make up for it. Have a great week everyone! Tell someone you love them. Do it to someone who might feel a little awkward too, it'll be nice and funny, haha. 



Love, Elder Kerr

All the Elders drew names and had a gift exchange.  McKade got this sweet Pikachu!

One of the Elders on St. Martin is from Tahiti so McKade took this picture to send to Braden.

They always carry Books of Mormon in English, French and Spanish.

Lots of devastation from the Hurricane!

Barbados / Sent Jan. 28, 2019

Hello! Well, here I am, finally where all of you thought I've been this whole time. Barbados. It's pretty cool here. Also, the keyboards are normal english keyboards again, so here I am struggling to type again, haha. So this might not be a super long email, but I'll try to give you a little overview of this past week, because it was pretty weird. I left Guadeloupe on Tuesday, and got to Barbados at around 8pm. We have a pretty big apartment, or a small house more accurately, because we share it with the zone leaders, but there were 8 people sleeping there because everyone is moving around for transfers and waiting for flights or companions and stuff. Then Wednesday we mostly were driving to and from the airport dropping people off and picking people up, and then that evening we got to be at the mission home with the missionaries going home, so we ate and chilled with them, and had a little testimony meeting. It was cool. Then we had to get up early, 5am, to d...

"You're paying for that!" / Sent Sept. 10, 2018

Hello! Hey, how are you all? I hope you're all doing great! This week was pretty slow, but still good. I guess some weeks are like that. But anyway, something kind of scary and interesting happened this week. We were contacting a lady, and it was actually going pretty good, but she was one of those people who can just talk forever. I'm not kidding, there are some people here who will just talk all day long about n'importe quoi (I'm not really sure how to say that in english, haha. Just basically random stuff that's not important.) Anyway, at the end of the contact she just went off and started talking about so much random stuff about her life and God and her family, and it was good, but she was probably talking for almost 10 minutes straight without letting us say anything. We were standing on her porch, and after a few minutes I started to kind of zone out a little bit and stopped really paying a lot of attention. But then she looked me straight in the eyes, ...

Hey everyone! I'm just gonna send pictures this week instead of writing about my week. I'll just tell you that we only managed to teach two of the 15 lessons we had planned, so we did a lot of contacting, haha. Those two lessons were really good though. So was the contacting. Kind of, haha.  Have a great week, and hopefully pictures actually load today! Love you all! The church is true!  Love, Elder Kerr
